Custom Container SSH Access

Custom containers frequently lack a built-in graphical interface for management. As a result, the conventional approach for completely controlling such an instance is to create an SSH connection and then execute the needed operations via terminal commands.

There are two ways to establish an SSH connection to a container:

1. Through the SSH Gateway: This method involves the following steps:

1. Generate an SSH key pair.
2. Enter your public SSH key into the dashboard.
3. You can access your account using the SSH protocol.

This will enable you to connect to the container using SSH in the same way you would in any other environment.

If you don’t want to use SSH keys, you can take the following steps:

2. Through Web SSH

1. Assign a public IP address to the needed node.
2. Open the terminal emulator.
3. Type the command ‘ssh [username]@[hostname]’, where ‘[username]’ is your login and ‘[hostname]’ is the public IP address (you get these credentials via email whenever a new
4. Container is created or added to the environment).
5. Enter the requested password (also included in the email).

Once linked to your container, you will have full root access to conduct any necessary configurations.

If you’ve forgotten your container’s credentials or lost/deleted the relevant email, follow these procedures to reset them:

1. Locate the required node or combination of nodes in the expanded Additional list (often represented by a gear symbol).
2. Look for the “Reset password” option in this menu.

As a result, you will receive an email with a new password that will allow you to access your container(s).
